Vodka and Tia Maria in equal measures. Shot of espresso (or three spoons of Kenco in enough water to dissolve it Blush ), shake with ice.

Taste and realise you have added too much vodka.

Add more espresso

Taste and realise you have added to much coffee

Add Tia Maria until it tastes nice or you fall over. Serve immediately in 2 litre tupperware jug as there isnt a martini glass big enough.

My ears are really warm.

Aren't they just, Asi?

I pour them in a little snack bowl to feel fancy (but make sure to lick the crumbs out if the empty packet after).

@PyongyangKipperbang
I know you’ve only had one, but was it in a pint glass?
😂

@JohnnyMcGrathSaysFuckOff. Reminds me of the time as a CM. Has a 1 year old with an explosive poo. So put the 9 month old in one of those static jumpers. You know the sort that the bottom is like a dustpin lid?
So baby is safe, so turn around put 1 year old on the change table. Whip the nappy off in one deft movement. As the poo comes shooting out of her cute baby bottom again. All over me.
I stand there not quite sure who to clean first.
In the end clean the child. Then very carefully get my T shirt over my head with turning it inside out and clean my self up. Wash hands. Run up stairs for clean top.

Come back down stairs. Remember the baby in the dustbin lid jumperoo ?

Well he has had the world worst explosive poo. The dustpin lids is awash with poo.

And the 1 year old has her hands in it, and us once again covered in shite!.

Wasnt my best day.

And I dont drink. Angry

Oh man an espresso martini! So dreamy.

JohnnyMcGrathSaysFuckOff · 17/04/2020 21:44

Bat when I say "leftover", I may mean the cut price Lindt I piled into the trolley this morning. I had about 2 seconds of shame, then I thought fuck it.

@PyongyangKipperbang
I wonder how long it will take for someone to find his body with it being lock down who is going to miss him. Just got a new cream carpet a month ago and it's going to be covered in blood and shit isn't it 😢

Red wine and twiglets here

Imboredinthehouse · 17/04/2020 21:54

I swear I felt my liver wince when I opened the Pinot this evening.

Seabrooks Crinkle Cut crisps here
My fave. Mostly ready salted but when I have to buy the multipack, when the salted is out of stock, the prawn cocktail are amazing.

Ihatemyseleffordoingthis · 17/04/2020 21:54

Ooh it’s you! Yes I agree the only way through this is alcohol. Lots of. Cocktails sound a bit faffy though.

DH loves an espresso martini

helpfulperson · 17/04/2020 21:59

Hmm, will the police arrest me for buying only Tia Maria ?. I have everything else

PyongyangKipperbang · 17/04/2020 22:00

I refuse to believe its possible to tire of them, I think I have discovered my perfect breakfast drink.

Envy I'm on antibiotics (definitely the non drinking sort) for a week. Brew for me.
PyongyangKipperbang · 17/04/2020 22:01

@helpfulperson probably but its worth a night in the cells

@RJnomore1 Alright mate?! My ears really are getting quite hot now.

@helpfulperson maybe pick up a pack of toilet roll aswell on your shopping trip? (can never have too much) Grin

spinthebottle · 17/04/2020 22:03

It’s the big shop tomorrow and I’m picking up all the ingredients for an espresso martini I’ll check in tomorrow with results...

RJnomore1 · 17/04/2020 22:04

I’ve worked through a bottle of white wine and I’m wondering what to do now 😊

PyongyangKipperbang · 17/04/2020 22:04

@spinthebottle

My work here is done!

Enjoy my friend!

OP posts:
PyongyangKipperbang · 17/04/2020 22:05

I mean "Enjoy, my friend"

Although of course you could enjoy my friend. She's nice, and would probably...

Shut up Pyong.
